Thank you very much.

I would like to turn back to my colleague's questions on the carbon tax.

First off, the minister said that the cost of the carbon tax was between $200 and $800. Many of our producers have said that it's more in the neighbourhood of $2,000, $5,000 or even $8,000. These are respected organizations.

Could you explain the discrepancy?
